Bexley Ribbon Run

Ribbon Run

We are under a week away to our Bexley Ribbon Run/Walk - here is the route details below

I have created a route for us for our Ribbon Run/Walk on Saturday 11th October - 5km at Danson Park in the free app 'Map My Run' or 'Map My Walk'. Please click on the link below. If you would like the route to show up in the app click the bookmark (little square icon next to the title Bexley Ribbon Run) that will then save the route in the app. Any questions I can help on the morning. I will be at Danson Stables car park from 9.30am. This is where we will start our Ribbon Run/Walk and where we will finish too. The route includes 2 laps to take us up to 5km. I am really looking forward to meeting you all. Cathy x

Wow - I've just upped our target to £1,000

Thank you everyone for joining our local Bexley Sands Ribbon Run/Walk. 
We are doing excellent with the donations so far, what an achievement!! Wow....
I am looking forward to meeting you all and doing this special walk together. It's the 1st of October today which marks the start of pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. 

Danson Park 5km Route Map

Our Bexley Ribbon Run/walk has been mapped out for 5km. This covers 2 laps around Danson Park. We will provide links for the route on 'Map my Walk' nearer to the date but this gives you an idea of distance.

Bexley Ribbon Run Event details 

Venue: Danson Park

Bexley Heath DA6 8HL

Meeting place: Danson Park - by Danson Stables Car Park 

Time and date to meet: Saturday 11th October 2025 at 9:45am 

Ribbon Run Start time: 10:00am

If you have any questions about this Ribbon Run, please email ribbonrun@sands.org.uk or message me on the Ribbon Run 2025 Facebook page.

My name is Cathy and this will be my fifth Ribbon Run for Sands and my second as a Ribbon Run Champion. I lost my daughter Alana at nearly 18 weeks pregnant due to a rare chromosomal syndrome called Edwards or T18. This was on the 15th October 2020 and was an extremely traumatic time for myself, husband and close family. Since October 2021, I have taken part in the Ribbon Run as I wanted to do something positive and help raise money to support bereaved families who have been through a similar experience to me. 

This will be my second year as a Ribbon Run Champion as I host the Bexley Ribbon Run at Danson Park. Last year, we had a great turn out and our run/walk was very special. We would love as many people to join us this year to remember all our babies as we take on the 5km Ribbon Run. It's open to all abilities and all family and friends. You can walk, power walk, jog or run at your own personal pace, whatever you and/or your team are comfortable with. We are a friendly and supportive group of people and would love to meet you.  Please feel free to extend the distance if you want to cover 10 or 15km. 

I will be present from about 9.30am in the Danson Stables car park and will make myself known with Ribbon Run signage, to answer any questions also about the route and fundraising. 

Please do join our local Bexley Sands Ribbon Run fundraising page so that we can all connect and do this meaningful Ribbon Run/walk together. If anyone would like to sponsor us too then that would be great. You can click the 'join us' or 'sponsor us' links above. 

NOTE: This Ribbon Run will not be part of the official Park Run at Danson Park which starts earlier that morning so no need to register for that, just turn up and we will be there to greet you all. We will have a 5km route mapped out and distributed on this page beforehand. More details about Sands and the Ribbon Run is below. I look forward to meeting you all on Saturday 11th October. 

We're taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.

Sands exists to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support. 

By sponsoring us, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.

£20 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby.

£35 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.

£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.

Thank you to our Sponsors
